Today was a free day and a welcome opportunity to sleep a slight bit longer. Most of us made it to downtown after (a late) breakfast; for me it was more sightseeing around the temple of the tooth, a walk around the lake – and the first real espresso since my transfer in Amsterdam.

We got together again in the evening for a Kandyan Dance Performance. The performance turned out fairly touristic; I am not so sure, if all that dancing was indeed Kandy or even Sri Lanka style – – – at least the part with balancing those revolving plates … I am sure, I have seen that before (maybe the acrobats in Beijing?). Anyhow – the show was entertaining enough 😉

After the show we made it to a Tamil restaurant for dinner – followed by a visit to a dodgy bar (the bar turned out completely fine … so nothing dodgy here).
